Napoli star Lorenzo Insigne was reportedly robbed at gunpoint last night when he was out with his wife and friends.
Italian media outlets report that armed robbers spotted Insigne and produced guns before stealing money from the footballer in the Vomero district around 10.30pm last night.
Reports also indicate that this is is not the first time a Napoli player has been mugged. Captain Marek Hamsik was the victim of a robbery twice last year.
Speaking in relation to the incident, Insigne's agent Antonio Ottaiano said:
''It's true, yesterday night Lorenzo was victim of a mugging in the Vomero area. His wife was in the car with him but fortunately not his children. Lorenzo reported the case to the authorities and the police.
"It was a negative experience. He'll get over it by means of football and the help of his team-mates."
Napoli are scheduled to play away to Fiorentina in a Serie A game tomorrow night.
